Tis The Season!!

 Rosebud and I would like to wish each and everyone of you a Very Merry Christmas And A Happy Holiday Season. We know not everyone celebrates Christmas, yet celebrate other Holidays at this time, We wish You Peace And A Wonderful Holiday Too!!! We also know the 2020 Holiday Season is a whole lot different than we wish for. Please Be Well, Be Safe And Know There Are Millions Of People Around The World Who Care!! Our numbers are smaller than in the past but I believe we still out number those who could care less...It's times like these that we all need to stand together, our hearts, hopes, and dreams held high...

We Will Make It Through If We Carry Each Other!!

Joshua Redman is one of my favorite Sax players, I could listen to him play all night. When joined by the 3 awesome instrumentalists in The Bad Plus, it's a bonus. The Bad Plus & Joshua Redman have collaborated quite offten, always to awe inspiring affect. This 50 minute set written completely by bassist Reid Anderson is no different. Download this set, turn it up a little loud and enjoy...(yeah it sounds that good)

This is a great collection of Demos made even better by the addition of some live tracks from 1975-1978. Long Misty Days is a great album and I was pretty excited to find these demos at The Traders Den. The additional tracks my already be in your collections, but these demos are well worth the download.

justdave's notes:
When I received this show in flac from a Trader, it was in Japanese. I had to decode the flacs and re-encode them. My computer could not play them in Japanese. I renamed the files but still could not play them until I decoded then re-encoded the flac files.

For our next post of our Tribute To Rosebud's Favorite Singers is another from Steve Perry & Journey. Yet again live in Tokyo, Japan. Jonathan Cain is now in the line up, becoming a key song writer. Jonathan Cain would co-write every song released by Journey from the Escape album to Trial By Fire. He actually wrote more songs than Neal Schon in this period. For those that love this period of Journey you'll love this hit filled show.

The next installment of Rosebud's Salute To Here Favorite Singers we have Steve Perry with Journey. This recording is after the departure of drummer Aynsley Dunbar but before Greg Rolie's departure (pun unintended JD). The addition of Steve Perry came with a change in sound that some early fans were not happy with. The shift from Progressive Rock leaning instrumentals to Arena Rock Anthems brought bigger sales and hits.

Steve Perry made his live debut with Journey October of 1977. The next 10 years would be a whirlwind of bigger hits, bigger sales and bigger tours. With Greg Rolie leaving the band after one more studio album and tour. He would pick his own replacement while on that tour. The opening act was The Babys (I saw that tour in Detroit, the show was awesome JD), and their keyboard player Jonathan Cain was auditioning without even knowing. With Cain onboard, the music went even further away from their original sound. Some fans, myself included, decided it was time to jump ship. Others, like Rosebud, carried on with every shift the band made.

After Greg Rolie left the sets no longer featured songs from the earlier Progressive period of the band. The hits would still roll in...

Our Tribute To Progressive Rock continues with another British Progressive Rock Collective Camel. Camel is another band counted in the Canterbury Scene blending Folk, Classical, Rock, and Jazz into a sound sometimes called Symphonic-Prog-Rock. The songs are largely instrumental, when not lyrics deal with Fantasy and even the world of comic book heroes.

This line-up of Camel never recorded a studio album, and from my research I do believe no live recordings have been officially released either. Well we just have to take care of that ourselves then. Thankfully we can with this double CD FM broadcast recording from San Jose California. The tape shows a little age but is a great listening experience.

As I said this line-up of Camel never recorded a studio or live album. This line up was a transitional one after the departure of founding keyboardist Peter Bardens. Peter was "replaced" by Dave Sinclair & Jan Schelhaas both having been in Caravan. Both did however play on the 1978 Breathless album which was the last to feature Bardens. So Thank You goes to the unknown taper of this great show!
